Vino's Pet

Preserve your vino without putting a stopper in your décor's lovably untamed personality! These pets-turned-wine-stoppers add playfulness to popped bottles as they preserve their precious contents with an airtight seal.

Artist Hadley Sedgwick makes each functional ceramic sculpture by hand, pressing clay into canvas to create each friendly face's spotty pattern and a texture that just begs to be petted. The stopper's rubber cone and stainless steel body are extremely durable and won't corrode from the wine's natural acidity like other materials can. Handmade in Georgia.

Sold individually.

the maker

Hadley Sedgwick

A graduate from the Herron School of Art, Hadley Sedgwick currently works in
ceramics, bringing sculpture to outdoor and garden settings. Art retailers
across the country find demand for her spontaneity, taste and playful
expression. Hadley lives on Tybee Island, Ga. with her kiln, husband and two
dogs.

"These pieces are me--they are expressions of who I am," Hadley said. "These small animals
have my own naivete, innocence and spontaneity. Further beneath the surface,
they all bear wounds and scars, permanent lines rendered awkwardly across
their faces and bodies. Yet, against this backdrop an inner beauty shines
through. Glossy, shimmering, bright colors, and cute, childlike expressions
suggest true personal transformation."

Nothing like a puppy poking its head out the top of a wine bottle, so funny!
